Wow the Cub group is really large this year. Welcome back to all returning Cubs! We have quite a few new Cubs - some coming from Beavers and some simply joining the program. It will take a couple of weeks to get organized so parents please bear with the confusion.

On Saturday October 23 the 5th Aurora Scouting group will be "haunting" Sheppard's Bush in association with the Town of Aurora. This is another fundraiser for the group. We will need to create some displays - scary and not so scary. We could also use some help to man the displays so they can be interactive rather than static. If any parent is willing to help out or has an idea please speak to Akela (Terri), Baloo (Wayne) or Bagheera (Tracy).

The leaders will attempt to keep the website as up to date as possible so please check back frequently.

As with all cub outings, youth should be in uniform.

We are meeting the owner at his station at 1:00 p.m. sharp on Saturday, November 15. It will be about a 40 – 45 minute drive, so we should meet at the school by noon. We will definitely need to leave at 12:15 without delay. Car-pooling makes the most sense so an early indication of who is interested in coming would be helpful in organizing the logistics.

We would expect to have the cubs back to Aurora by 3:30.

Please let us know by next Wednesday by returning this form at next weeks meeting, or by email to Akela.
